re: AD THIS! 



THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED. 

Each companion on joining the order 
makes declaration "upon honor" that 
he "will maintain the constitution and 
by-laws, and use his best endeavors to 
promote its objects and advance its 
interests." 

The fiscal year of the order begins 
Jan. 1st. 

The annual dues are Twelve Dollar* 
for all members residing- in Wayne 
county, and Six Dollars for all others. 
And should be paid promptly on that 
date. 

Companions neglecting to do this 
are liable to be dropped from the roll 
of membership. 

A companion is entitled to the Insig- 
nia during membership only. 

The Insignia and Diploma are the 
property of the commandery. When a 
companion is dropped from the roll the 
Diploma and Insignia shall be returned 
to the commandery. 

No companion who has been dropped 
from the roll has any right to wear the 
Insignia or Rosette. 

No companion who has been dropped 
from the roll and w^ho neglects to sur- 
render the Insignia and Diploma can 
be restored to membership. 

All sons of Veteran officers are eli- 
gible to membership. 

Meetings occur the first Thursday in 
May, October, December and February 
in each year. 

Always call at headquarters when in 
the city — you are sure of a welcome. 

Headquarters are at the Memorial 
Hall building junction of Adams, Cass 
and Grand River Avenues. 

Address Howard Brooke, Chancellor, 
606 Penobscot Bldg., Detroit, for Ro- 
settes, Insignia, etc.

"And what the building of the Em- 
pire and the keeping of it have done 
for Englishmen, the Civil War did in 
large measure for the Americans. 
Even the struggle with their own wil- 
derness might not have sufficed to keep 
the people hard and sound of heart 
and limb through a century of peace 
and growing prosperity. The Civil 
War is already beginning to slip into 
the farther reaches of the people's 
memory; but twenty-five years ago the 
echoes of the guns had hardly died 
away — the minds of the people were 
still inspired. It was an awful, and a 
splendid, experience for the Nation. It 
is not necessary, with Emerson, 'al- 
ways to respect war hereafter'; -but 
there have been times when it has 
seemed to me that I would rather be 
able to wear that little tri-color button 
of the American 'Loyal Legion' than 
any other decoration in the world.' 

The 20th Century American, being a 
comparative study of the Peoples of 
the Two Great Anglo-Saxon Nations.

Editor of the London Times.]

THE FLAG. 

Here comes The Flag"! 
Hail it! 

Who dares to drag 
Or trail it? 

Give it hurrahs, — 
Three for the stars, 
Three for the bars, 

Uncover your head to it! ; 

The soldiers who tread to it 
Shout at the sight of it, 
The justice and right of it, 
The unsullied white of it. 
The blue and red of it, 
And tyranny's dread of it! 

Here comes The Flag! 

Cheer it! 
Valley and crag 

Shall hear it. 
Fathers shall bless it. 
Children caress it. 
All shall maintain it, 
No one shall stain it, 
Cheers for the sailors that fought on 

the wave for it, 
Cheers for the soldiers that always 

were brave for it. 
Tears for the men that went down to 

the grave for it! 
Here comes The Flag!

Private 24th Regt. Mich. Vol. Inf.
